What should i do?

Question

I have a two year old son. His father was given Supervised visiation rights. He showed up four times then didn't show up for four months now he wants to see our son again. He don't even pay his child suport (only 15$ a week) I am so worried that my son will end up haveing some serious isues because this man comes and goes in his life when it is conviente for him. We have not had a permanite custody batle (the visiation rights were estableshed during a restraning order hearing) I am using my income tax return to get a lawyer but what can i do to make things less emotional for my son. when his father was seeing him four months ago he was always angry when he came home and would not act like himself for the next few days. I just don't want any emotional scares for my son. Any advice?

I wish i could refuse the visitations but it was court ordered and as i said i am going to be contesting all this during the acualy custody hearing

Answer 1

the best thing you can do is speak to a child psychologist and tell them what damage you think is being done by him being around his father.they can give you advice on how to proceed about the visitation. your pediatrician should be able to recommend a child therapist. make sure you ask them about testifying in the event it comes down to court hearing.

Answer 2

For now, I would refuse visitation. I understand there's an order in place, but for the best interest of your child, you may want to wait until you can take the case back to court! Do whats right for your son...it sounds like you have hisbest interests at heart. Best of Luck to you!!!
